Have we a thread on this yet?

I am really shocked.

wow, I type really slowly

Tortington · 08/10/2011 22:02

it took you longer to type that uppity than it would to type something meaningful in relation to the subject matter

giyadas · 08/10/2011 22:02

The twi-sluts are an adult fiction quiche, they called themselves that, and the snake wanking lot are pretty self selecting, they didn't have anything imposed on them and they seem to be having a good time, so why not leave them to it. Conversations about the misogyny behind words go on in the feminism section, they can both exist together on one site.
I don't see how they're relevent to this thread (but I got to it after everything was deleted)
But rape apologist usually refers to the arguments put forward, it's not an insult but it shows where a certain type of argument can lead, even thought the person putting it forward doesn't want rapists to get away with it and is supportive of rape survivors.

Eh? What is your point about that word then? Use it, don't use it, I don't want to stop you, but if it bothers you I can't really censor your speech for you!

Tortington · 08/10/2011 22:01

"why do you think saying you agree she deserves an apology means something?

and if someone else said it? does it make it more valid and not ..idiotic?

Uppity · 08/10/2011 21:59

Custardo you're hilarious.

Yep, we'll all drop everything and just deal with the threads you want us to.

Because what we want to discuss, is not important or interesting to you, so obviously it makes sense for you to tell us what we ought to be discussing instead.

Hmm
Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:58

ooh derailing love it

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:57

ella , your seriously being silly at this point suggesting that becuasr i mention that feminists should take the mantle against the word 'slut' that becuase i am using the word slut in that context i should report myself?Hmm just ridiculous now frankly

EllaDee · 08/10/2011 21:57

custardo - what I mean is, why do you think that derailing the thread is going to get you anywhere? And why do you think saying you agree she deserves an apology means something? Usually, the point of consensus is that it comes from non-interested parties. When you admit you're an interested party, it's kind of pointless. Confused

You've perfect right to post whatever you like, of course ... just IMO it's one of those things that tends to make people look like idiots.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:56

because no actually, not drunk here. cheers.

drunk
friend apologist
doesn't know not experienced

yeah yeah... but you are all right yeah? and im not because rhubarb is on this thread? so why are you arguing against me exactly?

i suggest any prejudice here is yours

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:55

I did not call her a rape apologist. I may have said she was victim blaming, but I did not call her a rape apologist.

Can you please stop this tirade against me, as this whole thread has been very damaging to several members of the forum. Accusing me of being a bully is not helping matters, and at the moment, I am struggling to remain calm, but I will NOT have my name dragged through the dirt over and over again by rhubarb's gang.

EllaDee · 08/10/2011 21:54

I hope I tackle anti-women talk when I see it. As I've already said, the only person I've seen using 'slut' is you, and you can surely report your own posts as it bothers you too?

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:53

cheeres proles for that

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:53

elladee what does your last post mean exactly.

are you trying to say that i am not allowed an opinion becuase a friend of mine has an opinion~?

and go on....link our opinions....that would be a sight to see

Custardo, you clearly have no interest in the topic of this thread. Forgive, me, but coming here to defend your mate then saying 'ohh, she's not the only person to want an apology' is ridiculous.

What are you hoping to get out of this?

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:47

I'm not sure why those posts were deleted, but I certainly didn't use the term rape apologist.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:47

yesn you are catagorising me l you are catagorising me in the ;i know nothing from experience' camp. dangerous ground that. which is why i say you dont know everything.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:45

sgm it wasnt you post it was a frothy post

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:44

is it in one of your deleted posts that can't be linked to , because i am certainly not the only person to refer to it.

I'm sayinig that rhubarb used her "educational" experience to try and belittle several users very real experiences. I'm not categorising you. At all.
